Installation Grants

EMBO Installation Grants aim to strengthen science in the Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal and Turkey* by encouraging talented researchers to establish independent laboratories in these countries.

Institutions and successful job candidates apply together to gain funding beyond normal start-up packages. The commitment and support of the receiving institute during and beyond the tenure of the grant is regarded as essential. This is meant to ensure continued support of the academic career of the recipient.

The scheme is funded primarily by the EMBC Member States who elect to participate in the programme. It is administered by the EMBO Young Investigator Programme. Search the Installation Grants database for the 71 grants, which have been funded since 2006.
